Turning And Mechanical Manipulation Vol.1. Materials, Their Preparation And Working.

A work of general reference and practical instruction on the lathe and the various mechanical pursuits followed by amateurs. One of the earlist and probably the most famous of the writers on the use of the lathe and the art of ornamental turning. Charles Jacob Holtzapffel's massive five volume work is much sought after and commands a high price. Volumes four and five were reprinted many years ago by Dover Publications and this timely reprinting of Charles Holtzapffel's first three volumes will now complete the set. All volumes are bound in maroon with gold lettering and dust jackets.
